2019 Map of Wilmington North

About this map

Brandywine Creek carves a winding path through the northern suburbs of Wilmington, connecting historical settlements across the Pennsylvania and Delaware border. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where dense residential developments like Talleyville and Brandywood are balanced by expansive green spaces, most notably the First State National Historical Park. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, ranging from the Wilmington and Brandywine Cem in the city core to smaller, denominational grounds such as the Centre Friends Meeting Cem and the Newark Union Burial Ground. Transportation patterns are clearly defined by the Baltimore Pike and Kennett Pike, which historically linked the mills and hamlets of Chadds Ford and Guyencourt to the urban center, while the Porter Reservoir highlights the critical water infrastructure serving the region.
